Trump Administration Seeks Remand of Offshore Wind Approval
Tap title to read story
The United States Department of Justice has filed a motion in the District Court for the District of Columbia seeking a summary judgment that would remand the Department of the Interior’s approval of the Revolution Wind offshore wind project.
The request follows a series of court rulings that allowed construction to resume in January two years ago after a stop‑work order was overturned. The Trump administration argues that the approval was granted without adequate environmental review and that the project threatens marine ecosystems.
If granted, the remand would halt the final commissioning stage, delaying the project’s expected full output by the end of this year. The move reflects a broader policy shift toward stricter scrutiny of large renewable energy developments.
